参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Gravity is responsible for hoqv1r4bpb 4(iye+4 qlulding water on Earth and is a fundamental factor in water retention within the planet's atmosbv (i14l ue4bqyrq+4pphere and surface. Choice D is, therefore, correct.
Choice A is incorrect, as although rainfall is a part of the water cycle and is responsible for distributing water, it does not directly contribute to the retention of water on Earth.
Choice B is incorrect, as the moon's gravitational force regulates the tides of large bodies of water but does not directly contribute to water retention on Earth. Choice C is incorrect as water is lost from bodies of water on the surface of the Earth and evaporates into the atmosphere, which doesn't directly address water retention.
